Management

Committee

The pre-school is a registered charity, managed by a Committee who are elected each year. The committee strives to ensure that the pre-school meets the needs of the local community as well as operating in accordance with its constitution and complying with the requirements of EYFS and Ofsted. Any parent is welcome to join our committee.

We work in close partnership with parents, who are actively encouraged to become involved in both their child’s development and learning, as well as in the work of the pre-school. We recognise the right of parents to be valued and respected, kept informed, consulted, involved and included at all levels.

We currently employ three permanent members of teaching staff who hold relevant childcare qualifications. ‘Hard working, approachable, knowledgeable staff’, ‘very kind and caring staff who take the time to get to know my child as an individual’ (parents survey January 2018).

We meet the statutory requirements for staff qualifications at all times, including Enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checks. The pre-school committee and Leader are dedicated to the professional development of all staff. As well as their professional qualifications in early years care and education, all pre-school staff take part in further training each year to ensure they keep up-to-date with the latest statutory and education developments.
